Something like those suburban machinery clip on style bars?

Thought about those, but it doesn't look like I'd be able to rotate them down far enough.  It would be SpeedyMoto Tallboys or nothing I'm afraid.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Any good fab shop could pie cut and weld those to move them where you needed them.

Ride or trailer it up and we can make custom bars for it.

KTM Riders are a responsible bunch, aren't they?

Something cool happened today.

Today was one of those days that being self employed is great. I left the house at 10 am on the 450 sumo headed for the shop.

70 degrees with the sun shining. Pretty much perfect.

The ride home at 530 was in the rain. I like riding in the rain. I left the shop hauling ass at about 70 down the back roads to 5 Star Cycle to pickup a halogen headlight bulb upgrade. My stocker is done for at 1500 miles.

I got there with jeans and street riding boots muddy from the knees down. Mud splatter all over my coat as well. They're on a dirt road which was mostly mud.

I left there and made my way into town towards home. I turn off North street into Grove. Its a short uphill section before my turn onto my street.

Perfect spot to rip a second gear power wheelie.  Normally I roll off the throttle a little, lean back and hammer it as the forks extend an that engages the anti gravity front wheel feature built into most ktms.

Something new happened since it was really wet out.

I go through the motions and instead of a rockin second gear floater I get the following :

The front comes up about 20" and a split second later the rear tire lights up and steps out about 8" to the right.  

I am laughing like Jack in The Shining.

I let off and the bike sorts itself out. I make my turn and this guy is standing on the corner with his jaw dropped [laugh]

I guess he saw the whole thing.

I <3 this bike

Yeah, more street oriented than just a wheel and plastic swap. Some bikes like the 690 SMC and Enduro or the 950 super enduro and SM-R share frames plastics and other bits. There's no real off road analogue to the SMT

Got all the filing and grinding of my front wheel done to smooth off the nipples of the front wheel. Gotta triple check my spoke tension before laying on seals.

Started on the rear wheel grinding and sand prep. Sticky rubber is on the way as they recommend you get a tire on and aired up shortly after the tape stuff.
